I live by the river on the wrong side of townNothing much to do here but listen to the soundOf a train I'll never catch passin' me byOf the muddy water drinkin' the tears that I crySo I head you're comin' back with somebody elseWell, if I had the time, if I had a little help&Every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonightEvery bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonightI have to think of something, I just have to find a wayBefore you cross that river, before I see your face'Cause I can see your headlights and I can feel the painAnd nothing's gonna save me if I see you againBut if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rightsI'd be baptized in the ashes come the morning lightAnd every bridge in Dickson County would be burning down tonightI'd pay the price, I'd take the blameIf I could see it all go up in flamesAnd if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rightsBut if I could use this torch I carry to put it all to rightsDickson County
